I love watching movies.  Seriously one of my favourite things to do is go to the cinema and watch something. So today I thought I would share some of my most anticipated books to movie or TV adaptations in 2019. I’ve got a mix of YA and adult books here. As well as some that I have read and some that I haven’t. But here we go, like always these aren’t in any order. 

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas: You may be thinking, what is this doing on your list? Well, it doesn’t come out in Australian until the end of January. But you bet that I will be seeing it more than once when it does come out. I adored reading THUG and I recommend it as much as I can. Plus I haven’t heard anything bad about the movie as of yet. I think I will be there opening night. 

Ashes of Snow based on Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys: Set during WWII, this movie will follow 15-year-old Lina as her life is turned upside town when Soviet officers barge into her home. Separated from her father, Lina, her mother and brother are sent to a work camp in Siberia. And while in this horrible place, Lina takes comfort in her art, and puts pencil to paper. I have yet to read this one, but I can tell you that I’ll be reading it in the couple months. I adored Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys, so I can’t wait to watch this one. 

Chaos Walking based on The Choas Walking series by Patrick Ness: This is another series that I haven’t picked up yet but can’t wait to read. While I have yet to see a trailer for this one, the stills look pretty cool. Todd is the only boy in a town full of men, where they can hear each other’s voices. Just shy of a month before Todd turns into a man, he knows the town is hiding something. So he runs. And then that’s when he meets a girl. This one is starring Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland, so yes, please! 

The Sun is Also a Star by Nicole Yoon: I wasn’t a massive fan of Nicole’s first book that became a movie, but this one seems more up my alley. This one looks like it’s going to be heartbreaking, but also breathtaking all at the same time. This one follows Natasha who is facing deportation along with her family as she falls in love with Daniel, who tries to live up to his family’s expectations.  

The Aftermath by Rhidian Brook: This one follows Rachael Morgan as she is reunited with her husband after WWII in Hamburg. Where she will be sharing her new house now only with her husband, but with the previous owner and his daughter. This one, I am either going to love or hate. Let’s just wait and see. 

The Umbrella Academy by Gerard Way: While this may be a graphic novel, I still thought I would share it here. I had never heard about this one until I came upon the trailer a couple of weeks ago and now I can’t wait to see this one. This one follows seven kids who were adopted by a millionaire who creates an academy to save the world. Later then come together when their adoptive father dies. 

And that is it for this post? What are some of the adaptations that you can’t wait to see? Are any of them the same as mine? What are some of your favourite book to movie or TV adaptations? Let’s chat!
